About Lanmei Airlines

Lanmei is abbreviation for Lancang-Mekong River. Mekong River, part of Lancang River stretching out of Southwest China, flows through Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam and into South China Sea. The identification of Lanmei Airlines looks like a peacock spreading its tails. Lanmei Airlines has a peacock as its logo because it symbolizes propitious totem in both oriental and western culture. The six spread feathers that make up the wings-like logo represents the six Greater Mekong River countries who are community of common destiny drinking the same water. The logo also looks like a rotating aircraft engine, implying to supply new and steady thrust to these six nations. Based in Phnom Pehn and Siem Reap, Lanmei Airlines is a local Cambodia air transport company, whose strategy is to build up consensus, to help development, and to share benefit. As a new-network and low-cost company, Lanmei Airlines strives to build “sky highways” for Lancang-Mekong cooperation and is committed to be the leader in Cambodia aviation and tourism industry. There are three aircrafts in the Lanmei fleet as of February 3rd 2018: one Airbus A319-100 and two Airbus A321 - 200S.  The airline was founded in March 2016 and commenced operations in September 2017.

Lanmei faces more competition on one of its routes 

GX Airlines launch first scheduled international service between Nanning and Siem Reap. The new Chinese carrier plans to fly this route twice a week. GX Airlines will use an A320 to ferry passengers on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The route isn't without competition, however, from Lanmei Airlines and Cambodia Angkor Air. Both airlines already provide flights twice a week from Nanning to Siem Reep, so it will be interesting to see what this does to flight prices. This is just one of the 32 destinations GX Airlines will be flying to and from the end of this year.

Lanmei contributes to Cambodia's airports recieving more passengers

The operator VINCI Airports, who operates three airports in Cambodia, has reported that 3 million passengers used these airports in the first quarter of 2018, a 26.1% year-on-year increase. At Phnom Penh Airport, the country's capital, this upward trend is even steeper at a staggering 34.5%. The capital’s airport handled 1.4 millions passengers, while the increase was mainly attributed to new services introduced by Malindo, Vietjet and Shenzhen Airlines. Chinese carriers such as Spring, China Southern Airlines and Xiamen Airlines all increased services to Phnom Penh.

Local Cambodian start-up airlines, JC International and Lanmei Airlines, may also be responsible for the surge in traffic, as both recently established flights to Singapore and Bangkok. Passenger traffic at Siem Reap airport increased by 17.4%. Travellers from China topped the passenger lists, while domestic travel also expanded. This is part of a ever-growing tourism trend in the country, who saw the number of international travellers visiting the kingdom reaching 5.6 million in 2017, up 11.8% (statistics from the Ministry of Tourism). If precditions are correct, Cambodia should be letting through its immigration over 6.1 million tourists this year.

Lanmei and JC airlines  receive customer access software

International Airlines, along with its rival, Lanmei Airlines, will get access to a bigger global market after signing distribution system agreements with Sabre, one of the world’s largest software companies. The Cambodian airlies will now feature similar systems to popular online travel agencies. Tourism reached an all-time high in Cambodia last year, and it just keeps on growing. With seven airlines now in operation across the country, compared with two only four years ago, start-up airlines such as Lanmei and JC International are the future of Cambodia’s air travel infrastructure. 

A recent report from consultancy CAPA Centre for Aviation indicates that the rise in tourism throughout Cambodia is driving an important shift in the aviation industry.

With seven airlines now in operation across the country, compared with two only four years ago, start-up airlines such as Lanmei and JC International are shaping the future of Cambodia’s air travel infrastructure.

Rakesh Narayanan, vice-president of airline business for Sabre Travel Network Asia Pacific, said that as the leading global distribution system in Cambodia, Sabre was pleased to support the rapid development of two of Cambodia’s growing carriers.

“With these new partnerships, Sabre will provide both Lanmei Airlines and JC International Airlines access to innovative solutions, enabling the addition of new bookable content on our platform,” Mr Narayanan said.

“Cambodia’s travel industry is changing. By providing our new partners with the technology they need to embrace industry shifts, access to our global network of agents will help them achieve their business objectives as they shape Cambodia’s travel industry,” he added.

Eric Li, deputy general manager in the commercial department of Lanmei Airlines, said: “Making our content available to a wide range of domestic and international consumers is central to our strategic vision.

“Our partnership with Sabre will not only help propel our brand globally, but also play a crucial role in the future success of our business.”

Tang Chun, CEO of JC (CAMBODIA) International Airlines, said: “Building a partnership with a leading technology partner such as Sabre supports our plan to further expand operations.

“As we continue to invest in our success, Sabre will provide us with the necessary network to support the massive wave of inbound tourism that Cambodia is witnessing.”

The combined number of passengers in Cambodia’s three international airports surpassed the eight million mark last year for the first time in the country’s history, an event hailed as a milestone for the fledging aviation sector.

This year there has been a rise of one million passengers compared with 2016, when the total number of passengers in the country’s three international airports – Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville – amounted to seven million, according Cambodia Airports.
